Join the Fight in Knights of the Crusades
Reverie World Studios and indie.io have launched their highly anticipated hybrid strategy game, Knights of the Crusades, on Steam Early Access. The game invites players to actively shape its development, offering a rich and seamless experience. Set during the Crusades, players assume the role of a minor knight leading a warband, tasked with navigating the complex and turbulent landscape of the Holy Land.
The game takes place during the Crusades, a period when Western Europe sought to expand its influence over the Middle East through religiously motivated warfare. This two-century conflict reshaped political, economic, and religious dynamics across Europe and the Middle East. Players can either build a military order from the ground up or take control of existing factions such as the Templars or the Emirate of Tripoli, ultimately rewriting history through their decisions.
Knights of the Crusades offers a unique combination of real-time tactical combat, grand strategy, and an open-ended campaign. Players must carefully manage logistics, ensuring their army remains supplied while mastering combat tactics in an era without gunpowder. The game’s strategic depth extends beyond the battlefield, requiring players to navigate a web of alliances, political maneuvering, and shifting diplomatic landscapes.
Players can also experience the Crusades from the perspective of a Muslim ruler, defending against the Christian forces aiming to conquer the Holy Land. The game’s complex systems of combat, logistics, and diplomacy offer the chance to change the course of history.
As part of its Early Access launch, Reverie World Studios will release regular updates, including new campaigns, diplomacy systems, naval combat, and customizable Holy Orders, ensuring that Knights of the Crusades will continue to evolve.
